If you woke up this morning and still weren't able to log into the Cataclysm Beta, you weren't alone. As it turns out, Blizzard tweaked their login server but the tweak didn't exactly take effect. You'll need to tweak your install slightly before you can log in again:

Hi guys,

We've made some changes to the login server, however these changes didn't quite stick. You will not be able to login without doing the following:

Before you start, please make sure the WoW beta client is not open. 1. Navigate to the following folder in your beta install. ~\\Data\\enUS** 2. Open up your realmlist.wtf file with a text editing document. 3. Change the "set portal public-beta" line to "set portal public-test" 4. Save this change.

At this point you should be able to login normally.

**This folder will differ depending on which language you installed WoW Beta with. For example if you have a German install, the folder will be deDE.

About couple of weeks ago I posted blog about how one of the new Cataclysm dungeons, Blackrock Caverns, felt. If you are interested in it, go ahead and take a look - I found it a pretty cool instance. Not as cool as the one I am about to present to you here and now though. You can read my shorter description here.

The Throne of the Tides is an 82-84 dungeon, supposedly the second one in the Abyssal Maw - the first one still unnamed and with 0 info about it. If you follow the normal quest flow, you will find the entrance to this dungeon during your last quest in Vashj'ir, after a colossal battle featuring Neptulon the Tidehunter himself. As you approach the giant whirlpool beneath Vashj'ir, you get sucked in, everything swirls around you, and - tadaaa - you drop in the elemental realm of water. Pretty cool looking place, by the way. But let's talk content now!

The latest Cataclysm update, in addition to a bunch of new talent features (which we'll have updated for you shortly!), also includes a big batch of new icons, maps, and loading screens for your viewing pleasure!

TankSpot has done it again! They have provided as with even more awesome video previews of updated Cataclysm zones. These new previews include one of my favourite makeovers yet, which has had some pretty radical changes from the one we currently know. Remember these videos are also available on their respective zone pages!

Our friends at TankSpot have provided even more awesome video previews of updated Cataclysm zones for us to share with you guys today! These latest additions detail some pretty awesome changes, including (my favorite) the goblins' handiwork in Azshara! Remember that these videos are always available on their respective zone pages - enjoy!

A couple of builds ago Cataclysm alpha testers saw the first "real" achievements from the new expansion - achievements different from the random funny placeholders and the standard exploration achievements. I am talking about the dungeon (and some raid) achievements. And although they were cool in and of themselves, to me there was something else intriguing hiding inside them - the knowledge of what the different instances will be called and what kind of bosses they will feature. From this we could even gather some very basic and preliminary information about who (or what) those bosses will be. Interesting stuff for me and other players eager to learn more about the expansion.

So! Let me get to the good stuff and present you with a list of all the bosses in the Cataclysm dungeons, as well as with some short description and links whenever they are available. Keep in mind, only Blackrock Caverns and Throne of the Tides are available for testing (even if some of us managed to sneak inside the Stonecore), so information beyond those 2 (3) will be scarce virtually non-existent. Also, keep an eye out for a similar blog for raids!

The crew at TankSpot are still hard at work creating videos of the new Cataclysm zones! And of course, we're adding them to our zone pages here on Wowhead. Here's a rundown of their most recent additions:

The latest news on the Internet - Cataclysm closed beta is hitting us good! But we all know this. What's more important is that since the NDA has been lifted, we'll be showering you with tons of new information, blogs, guide pages, videos, screenshots, and dataz. Fewyn just posted some good stuff about the UI Changes in Cataclysm (and you should check it out if you haven't), so I decided to go a different route - do a dungeon, see how it feels, give a few screenshots, and a bit of an overall opinion about how the experience is.

Right now the only two dungeons available for testing are Blackrock Caverns and the Throne of the Tides. So I went to my good old friend, the Dungeon Finder, and said "Yo dawg, you heard I like dungeons? Give me a random one!" And so the Blackrock Caverns popped...
